Abstract
A control device performs: searching for a maximal efficiency voltage which is an output voltage of the first converter at which the output power of the first converter becomes maximal; storing the maximal efficiency voltage obtained by the searching; performing a voltage adjustment process of changing the output voltage of the first converter in a direction in which the output power of the first converter is increased by using the maximal efficiency voltage as an initial value; changing the output voltage of the first converter to the maximal efficiency voltage at that time when the correspondence relationship between the output voltage of the first converter and the output power corresponding to the output voltage of the solar panel is changed during the voltage adjustment process; and performing the voltage adjustment process again with the output voltage of the first converter after the change as a new initial value.
